All the 2011 dresses of tennis fashion queen Maria Sharapova

The first Women's Tennis Blog's fashion retrospectionwas dedicated to Maria Sharapova's Nike dresses in 2007 and the unofficial queen of tennis elegance remains an absolute must in our yearly overviews. During the five years we've been paying close attention to her outfits, we noticed that 2011 is the year she tuned down her glamorous and extraordinary looks and turned to more common dresses, wearable for everyday practice.

In my humble opinion, Sharapova's 2011 dresses are all beautiful but more sporty, more simple than in the previous years. There still are a lot of details, but the designs are less striking than what we got used to associating with the Russian fashion queen. What's your view? Did you happen to notice the same?

I love it that for Wimbledon Sharapova always has an elite-looking outfit enhanced by a stylish jacket and bag. The Maria Ace Lawn dress itself is nothing extraordinary (at least not for Sharapova's standards), but the champion's complete look left me breathless as expected.

At Toronto and Cincinnati Sharapova wore both her Wimbledon and Stanford outfits, while the following tournament of the US Open was again a special treat for Maria and the Nike team.

I was expecting for this!
I love her us open night and AO dress, I also like her red and orange tank (IW) her us open day dress is horrible! and you forgot her cincinati outfit with the white tank and skirt 🙂

marija you should make a ranking of the best dresses maria has worn. my favorite is the 2006 us open black dress inspired in breakfast at tiffanys. make the list please we can vote for our favorite and choose the best shatapova outfit ever.

Phaura, I will do Jelena Jankovic and Adidas on the examples of Ivanovic and Hantuchova, Fila for Clijsters probably, maybe possibly even Zvonareva and K-Swiss, Serena too. I'll see.

Brenda, oops, sorry for that, it looks the same as the dress.

Cica, nice idea. However, I'm having a technical problem with polls. I upgraded my WordPress and from then on my plugin for polls stopped working properly. I'm waiting for them to upgrade the plugin but I don't know when that will happen. To do it without a poll would be less effective. I hope the technical issue will be solved soon.

I love 'em all, except for the us open day dress and the istanbul dress 🙂 I can't put my finger on the exact reason, but I think I don't like these grey tones.. The US Open Night, Miami and French are my faves! 🙂

I also agree Maria's designs are more sporty and they do lack that elegance from previous years. My favorite Masha's fashion retrospective is the one in 2007 and 2008. There is no outfit this year that i don't like, but on the other hand none of her dresses were that stunning. I like mostly her Ozzie open and US night dress.

Marija i hope you can fix the problem with the plugin very soon. so we can choose our all time favorite Masha outfit. totally agree with Van that dress was just so classy and in addition she won her second grand slam title in it!!
